What is Strise?

Strise is a cloud‑based automation platform for Anti‑Money‑Laundering (AML) and Know‑Your‑Customer/Business (KYC/KYB) processes. Instead of juggling multiple databases and vendors, compliance teams can access real‑time company data, ownership information, identity checks and ongoing monitoring from one dashboard. Strise combines local and international AML data so organisations can onboard customers quickly while staying compliant. Unified AML data and automation let compliance teams move faster, reduce costs, and open new opportunities for growth.

How does it work?

Strise solves two problems at once: the “data problem” and the “workflow problem”. On the data side, it gathers and triangulates information on companies, beneficial owners and individuals from many sources and keeps it up to date in real time.

On the workflow side, it automates tasks such as onboarding, verification, risk screening and periodic reviews so analysts aren’t copying data between systems. Strise organises its features into modular tools that can be used together or separately:

• UBO Discovery builds ownership graphs to reveal who really controls a business. Users get pre‑populated profiles, can edit or comment on ownership data, and receive real‑time updates.
  ‍
• KYB and KYC Onboarding automates customer checks. It pre‑fills information, runs identity verification and beneficial‑ownership checks, and lets teams customise onboarding flows to meet their own risk rules.
• Global Business Data provides a single source of mapped, analyst‑ready data on businesses worldwide. Compliance teams can perform KYB, sanctions and PEP (Politically Exposed Person) checks in one step and merge duplicate entities for accuracy.
• Perpetual KYB/KYC (pKYC/pKYB) offers event‑driven monitoring. Instead of periodic reviews, Strise triggers alerts when a customer’s risk profile changes, using no‑code rules that teams can set themselves.
• Identity Verification (IDV) embeds document and biometric checks into the KYB workflow. It fills in data automatically and uses AI to detect deepfake or forged IDs.
• API for AML Automation connects Strise’s intelligence to existing systems, enabling straight‑through onboarding, automated risk rating and enriched transaction monitoring.

Because Strise handles both the data and workflow sides of compliance, customers typically cut due‑diligence times by around 90 % and lower software costs by about 30 %.
